I can tell you that there was one more son, Ernest Donald Peterson, born Dec 22, 1933 in Breeds (my father-in-law, known as "Donnie" and still living in a nursing home near our home here in Canton, IL) and to my knowledge there were at least 2 girls Julia and June.
John Henry died August 11, 1950 in Canton, IL he and Maude are buried nearby in Breeds/Orendorff cemetery.

I have more info if you need it on the Petersons, Zinns, Tarrs,Foulks etc....a great number of them lived in the Orion township (Breeds) area just outside of Canton here.
If you have an Ancestry tree, I can link you to mine as well...
